Highly recommend the calamari nachos. Some of the other menu choices weren't so great. Reasonable prices. Would also recommend picking of their 'specials' menu. More

The hubs and I visited Taco Loco in April 2012 based on some of the Trip Advisor reviews. It is located on the East side of the PCH pretty centrally in Laguna which makes it an easy walk from many hotels, including ours. We went for lunch after a morning hike so we were pretty hungry. It's basically a street-side... More

Stopped here for lunch en route to San Diego. There's a cool vibe here - order at the counter and wait for your number to be called.

The blackened mushroom tofu burger has been one of my favorite burgers since I was a teen. I have been going to Taco Loco since the early nineties when finding a tasty and vegetarian option was difficult. Taco Loco has been crafting this delicious concoction of spices blended with a perfectly seared piece of tofu, topped with guacamole-salsa that just... More

Great vegan tacos! Ever since we decided to give up meat and dairy, going out has become a bit of a challenge. I hate making a big deal about what I will or will not eat. It's always others that don't understand, but Taco Loco has definitely fed a vegan or two in its lifetime! The tacos, although not filled... More

Small portion size and high prices add up to a bad experience at Taco Loco. Doesn't taste very good either. More
